Subject: medm causes X11 crash on RHEL6

medm has worked very reliably for us until we upgraded our workstations to RHEL6 x86_64.  medm (and some other MOTIF apps) now crash the workstation's X11,  bringing you back to the login screen. Yuk.   medm starts fine, but will bomb after some short time (5-60 minutes).   We didn't come across an easy fix, so we've converted our medm displays to BOY.  We're a year or so from operations so we have to either resolve the medm/MOTIF/X11 issue or retrain our EPICS users for BOY.

The medm application is running on a (remote) RHEL5 x86_64  machine, not the local RHEL6 workstation which is just the x server.  

Anyone else have this problem with medm and RHEL6?
